Don't you just love this time of the year? All the pretty shoes and clothes in the most prettiest colors and prints! I'm so in love with these sandals right now. The color, the style- it's the perfect shoe to add to my spring wardrobe. Added plus- they're under $30!

You all are probably wondering how my $50 a month spending challenge is going. Let's just say, it's not going so well. I completely overspent for February and March, and I'm way over budget for this current month. Right now, I'm going to suspend the challenge until I can get focused and shake my "I see, I like, I buy" habit. Since I bought way too much (accessories here, thrift store finds there, more clothes for work), I'm just going to show just a few of my purchases. Check them out.

earrings $3.99 each, Burlington Coat Factory. I love funky, statement making earrings, and as of late, Burlington Coat Factory seemed to be my destination of choice for cool jewelry.

nude platforms and foldover wedge booties $8.98 each, Target: I guess I will stash the booties away for next fall/winter. It's absolutely too hot to wear them now. Good deal nonetheless.

Mossimo colored denim, Target: I got these at different times- the yellow pair was $22.99 (regular price), the green pair was on sale for $19.99 at one point, and the coral pair I caught on clearance for $6.88. I had to up two sizes in these jeans ( I wear a 13 in juniors', I had to buy a 17), so they are cut small. I'm all set on the colored denim trend for this season.

I've been on the hunt for a bright, aztec print clutch ever since one of my beloved Twitter followers uploaded a pic of her carrying one. All the beautiful colors would go nicely with my current spring wardrobe, and it would give life to the most basic maxi dress I own. Well, my search is over! I found this darling baby at deb shops! And it's under $20! Sweet!

I'm saddened that one of my fave thrift stores, Super Thrift, is closing its doors at the end of the month. In a way, I'm not surprised because the spot that it's housed in is a pain in the butt to get to, and I can see why some people would totally bypass it. Just about every business that's been in that plaza did not last long, and sadly, Super Thrift bit the dust too. Hopefully, they will open in another location so I can continue to shop there. Since they're closing, all clothing is $0.99! Since my break is only an hour, I didn't have that much time to fully browse every rack. I only grabbed a few pieces (mostly skirts) that caught my eye. Since they don't have fitting rooms, I had to eyeball the size and hope that they fit. I'll make alterations later if needed. Here's what I scored for a little over $6!

This top is a bit baggy, but I'll belt it to give it some shape

I love the print of this pleated skirt, and I was excited when I saw that it was a size 12. However, when I finally got home to try it on, it would not go over my hips (insert major *side eye*). I was really hoping this skirt would fit, but oh well. In the giveaway pile it goes.....

Florals are big this season and I really thought I'd hit the jackpot when I found this skirt. I couldn't even button this sucker up and it says that it's a size 15/16 (insert another *side eye*). Women back in the days must've had non-existent waists, because there's no way in HELL that this could be a size 15/16. To the giveaway pile this goes......
